Pictures posted to a Chinese forum, appear to show the Samsung Galaxy S IV, expected to be announced Thursday in New York. The photos show a case similar to the Galaxy Note 2, with a white back. Specs that appear on a benchmark app, match those previously leaked by other sources, including Android 4.2.1, a 1080p display, 2GB of RAM and a 13-megapixel camera.

Amazon wants the .book, ,author and .read domain names all to itself. The Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers call that anticompetitive and Barnes and Noble thinks its a threat to freedom on the Internet. Any organization with $185,000 and proven technical competence, can apply to ICANN to operate a top level domain. Google is amending its application for .search, .app, .blog and .cloud to say it would not restrict their use to Google products. The first round of approvals of these new generic TLDs is expected around April 23.

EA's Lucy Bradshaw penned an apology for the way EA launched Sim City. She says that a lot more people logged on than EA expected. Bradshaw said "that was dumb" and the company has increased server capacity by 120%. To make this apology package complete, EA will also offer a free PC download game. EA will send out emails on March 18th to those who bought the game with redemption details. Bradshaw said today “the core problem with getting in and having a great SimCity experience is almost behind us.”

Lots of folks are buzzing about Jacqui Cheng's photo gallery on Ars Technica showing off an early prototype of the iPhone from 2005 essentially a breadboard attached to a display. The device was about 5" x 7" and two inches thick with USB ports, an Ethernet port, and even a serial port, likely for ease of testing. The ARM chip inside looks like a variant of the Samsung S3C2410, which Ars writer Andrew Cunnigham called an older slower relative of the chip used in the first iPhone.

Iranian officials say the country has blocked the use of illegal VPNs. The country filters Internet content, but many have used VPNs as a workaround. Only legal and registered VPNs will be allowed in Iran. Back in January, Iran's Supreme Council of Cyberspace announced it would sell legal VPN services to businesses that needed them for security.

Dell has reportedly entered into a confidentiality agreement with activist investor Carl Icahn. The move allows Icahn to review Dell’s books and also talk to Dell’s board of directors about the terms of the $24 billion leveraged buyout to take the company private. Icahn has publicly opposed the buyout and favors a leveraged recapitalization that would payout shareholders a special $9 dividend.

At SXSW, Google showed off a talking-shoe concept. You heard right - a shoe. What's a Google shoe like? Well it a custom-made microcontroller and a circular speaker that gives you feedback based on how you move. The shoes also have Bluetooth so you can sync it with your phone. Google said it had no plans to enter the shoe business, which is a downer because I think they could market them as the GooShoe.

Is this the first Steam Box? Ars Technica reports Xi3 has started taking preorders for the Piston, a $1,000 computer in a console form factor designed for HDTVs and planned for release during the 2013 holiday season. The Linux-Based box will sport an integrated AMD chip with a 3.2Ghz quad-core processing unit and a 7000-series Radeon GPU sporting 384 programmable cores. The unit comes with support for up to three monitors, including one HDMI output, along with whopping 12 I/O ports, including eight USB slots. Xi3 was touted as a partner for the Steam Box from Valve at CES in January. Buyers can choose Steam as an option when ordering the Piston, as well as Gaikai and Origin.

Chip,heal thyself. Researchers at Caltech have created a chip that reconfigures itself when it faces transistor failure or reduced power. The "self-healing chip" uses a series of sensors that monitor power, temperature and an integrated circuit. In the case of failure, the chip would be able to reconfigure itself in a matter of microseconds.

- TiVo's got a new box and it's called the TiVo mini- It's designed to be your second TiVo box in the house and it will stream content from your main TiVo- The box also has internet content like Hulu Plus, YouTube, and Spotify. No Netflix.- It costs $99, but it also has a $6/month charge OR you can pay $150 for a lifetime pass. So if you want it free and clear from the start, it'll cost you $250.- That cost doesn't include your TiVo's normal cost per month.

The Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers filed complaints with ICANN. B&N also complained.- Amazon requesting TLDs like ".book," ".author" and ".read."- "Placing such generic domains in private hands is plainly anticompetitive, allowing already dominant, well-capitalized companies to expand and entrench their market power," Authors Guild President Scott Turow wrote- B&N added, "Amazon's ownership would also threaten the openness and freedom of the Internet and would have harmful consequences for Internet users worldwide."- Amazon has also applied for .amazon and .kindle .free, .like, .game, and .shop. In all, Amazon has applied for control of 76 gTLDs, but 30 of them are contested. Google applied for 101, 23 of which Amazon also applied for- new extensions will begin appearing online in the second half of 20

Key considerations for approving gTLDHow contested strings (or names) will be determined;How applications for geographic names will be considered;Technical requirements for new names that encompass internationalized domain names;The rights of intellectual property holders;How morality and public order objections can be raised;The cost of the evaluation process and how it is constructed.

- At SXSW MakerBot announced the Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner prototype- The scanner uses a combination of cameras and lasers to scan an object and then create a digital file- You don't need to know anything about 3D modeling or know how to use CAD to do this- That file can then be printed using a MakerBot replicator- The Digitizer can scan items 8 inches by 8 inches in less than three minutes - it launches in the fall

5 Point Cafe "alcoholics serving alcoholics since 1929,"- Announced on Facebook last week "For the record, The 5 Point is the first Seattle business to ban in advance Google Glasses. And ass kickings will be encouraged for violators."- 5 Point owner Dave Meinert references this: "Part of this is a joke, to be funny on Facebook and get a reaction, but part of it is serious because we don't let people film other people or take photos unwanted of other people in the bar because it's kind of a private place people go." - Ken Fisher of Ars Technica asks of Google Glass: Will it change how people interact? In particular, will it make people even more guarded than they already are?

- IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell made some statements about Windows 8- He says that not allowing people to boot into the desktop and the removal of the start button are two of the things IDC's research show people miss- O'Donell called Windows 8 PC sales "horribly stalled"- IDC thinks MS should rethink the design and says PC vendors agree with it.

Q: 4 months in and some people still have issue w/ Win8. Should MS bring back things are stay the course?

I was listening to your discussion about Google Glass being able to recognize your friends by what they are wearing and found it really silly. Tom mentioned that some people cannot recognize faces (this disorder is called Prosopagnosia), but this is not due to problems with their eyes, it is due to damage to certain areas of the brain. These individuals already have alternative ways of recognizing their friends! I have a feeling they would be more accurate at doing this than a computer.

I do not have Prosopagnosia, however I do have severe visual impairments. As a result, I cannot see faces of friends from afar. I primarily use the way the person is walking (everyone has a unique walk) along with certain cues such as height, hairstyle, and yes even clothing (if it's winter and someone has a distinctive coat that they always wear, for example) to recognize them.

I would not need Google Glass to do this for me. However, if I have not planned on meeting someone or am not paying attention, I do miss people who wave to me or whatnot and often have to explain myself if the person does not know of my visual difficulties. What would be amazing is if Google Glass could recognize faces, but that is a very complex process that occurs in the brain, and even scientists don't understand how it works, so I doubt that Google Glass could do this with high accuracy.
